Oh yes, the Connie most certainly is WW2 subject matter, maybe not the colour scheme, but the aircraft certainly was. Beautiful model exquisitely presented 👌

A very good watch, as is all this guy's work,

Timing of service use and closeness of performance and capability makes these two instantly comparable, timing of production doesn't change that. Remember both aircraft were well and truly in service and were being used in bombing raids against each other's territory simultaneously in 1940. You...

Both these two photos are taken at the Luftwaffen Museum at Gatow, Berlin. The Gannet usually lives indoors now. Gatow 182 This photo was taken on 17 December 1982 and shows four former Black Buck Vulcans XM597, XL391, XM607 and XM612, all of which took part in the Falklands War. The Vulcans...

GE TF-39 for C-5.

I always find it good to make basic comparisons between contemporary aircraft to get a good idea of what they were capable of. It is of no value to quote figures without a demonstrable and importantly, contemporary frame of reference, otherwise you get statements like "it's too slow" - compared...

Continuing with my homage to the B-29, some images of Doc. This photo was the first time I had seen a B-29 in flight, it was cruising over the airfield while I was snapping aircraft in the static parks on the first day of the show. _ADP6805 These photos were taken at Appleton, rather than...

Thanks mate. There was so much to see and I missed out on a lot, but I got to see what I wanted, so mission accomplished. Obviously, my big thing was to see the warbirds, so my photos are a bit one sided :D

One aircraft I really wanted to see at Oshkosh was the B-29, and I wasn't disappointed. Both flying examples tipped up and I got a good look at both, one more so than the other, but to begin with, a wee tribute to Fifi, the Commemorative Air Force's B-29. _ADP7957 _ADP7961 _ADP7960 _ADP7962...

USN Blimp replacement... was the P-3. A damn good airplane.
